25 Days Of Cardmas Day 23:Joy To The World!

 

Joy to the world...Christmas is almost here... Let me continue to sing...

2 days folks! 2 more days of me posting the 25 days posts. 2 more days left to shop. 2 more days of hectic crazy holiday planning.

And 2 cards I am showing off today. The first card is a Walker Buehler base card from 2019 Topps Holiday and the second is an Sp of Buehler with a scarf.

Out of my 37 years of life, I have never once worn a scarf despite facing some pretty cold tempatures where I live. I have on the other hand used them for Power Rangers, TMNT and even Darkwing Duck weapons haha.

Buehler on this card just looks right with a scarf the way he is holding his head, the photoshop was spot on. They chose a perfect person to attempt this on.

Have you guys ever worn a scarf?

25 Days Of Cardmas Day 22: Soto Christmas Tree

  

Soto....Christmas Tree...Soto Christmas Tree..how steadfast are your branches?

Only Juan knows.

I think the Christmas tree Sp's are one of the best looking ones out of Topps Holiday. So you add a young slugger into the picture as well, you have an award winning card.

Literally, there is an award on there.

Here is another parallel version of the card. This time there are some lights on the bat.

And you can't see it, but here is the metallic parallel.

The song Oh Christmas Tree brings me back to the days of school holiday concerts. It felt like every year no matter what grade I was in, my class was stuck singing that classic tune while other classes got to have more fun with Frosty The Snowman or Walking In A Winter Wonderland.

What is a song you remember singing from school?

25 Days Of Cardmas Day 20:Let It Snow

Let it snow..let it snow..let it snow....

I don't mind singing that up until Christmas, I need a white Christmas, but once it's past Christmas, I like to sing let it melt...let it melt...let it melt.

I can deal however with cards that feature snow on them and thanks to @KempTribe I was able to add a few more to my collection.

Not sure how these guys can see to pitch with snow in their face.

Only one year can I remember having a green Christmas where I live and it was weird as it gets. I am not sure how everyone in the south can celebrate Christmas in the warm and green grass. There is only way to celebrate the season and that's with snow.

How do you feel about snow?

25 Days Of Cardmas Day 11:'Mookie' Around The Christmas Tree

Mookie around the Christmas tree, have a happy holiday.....Later we'll have some pumpkin pie and do some caroling....

Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree by Brenda Lee brings back some fond memories of when I would go to my grandmother's apartment during this time of year. She would break out her cassette tape of taped songs off of the radio, remember those days, and would play those songs all day long. One of those songs she favored and danced to was Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree. Though she was older, she still had some moves and would occasionally invite me in to join her which would lead to lots of laughs. It was always fun to see her happiness come out during this time of year. So every time I hear that song on the radio or even played on my Pandora app on the Christmas station, I turn it up a little bit louder than rest of those songs.

Is there a holiday song that connects you with a memory? Which one and if you don't mind, share that memory!

25 Days Of Cardmas Day 10:Go Yelich On The Mountains

 

I have already mentioned my pure passion for the 2019 Topps Holiday cards, especially it's Sp's, today I will show off the start of my Yelich rainbow cane thanks to @Jake1725, @CardboardSushi, and @NormC61.

The first variation I landed was the Yelich Candy Cane bat. Which to me is the coolest variation of the three I own.

The next one features a Brewers Ornament

While the final, which you can't see that well, is the metallic parallel. 

Seeing these reminds me of the ornaments my parents used to put on our tree. Most were the homemade ones I did at school while a couple others were team oriented with my Dad with the Giants and my mom with her Cowboys ones. Which once again always made for a fun football season with those two at each others throats for those game matchups.

They also used to decorate the tree with plain candy canes like the one that Yelich is using as a bat. We didn't do the fancy flavored ones you see a lot of today.

I am not sure how they decorate their tree now.

Do you decorate yours with any team attire?

25 Days Of Cardmas Day 5:Wrapped Up By Topps

 

Wrapping gifts, it's joy, misery and memories all wrapped tightly with a bow.

Having a big family requires you to do a lot of wrapping. At first your excited, you put on some Christmas tunes, grab a cup of hot cocoa with little marshmallows, get all of your stuff laid out and off you go. But, by the time you are half way through, you are done and regretting to had bought anything for anyone for Christmas. Don't tell me you don't relate to that.

Maybe I should wrap stuff the way my parents did when I was younger. Whatever they could find, they used. It could be wrapping paper. It could be a grocery store bag. It could be a box taped shut. No matter what it was, you never knew what you were going to get.

 

At least these Topps cards are already wrapped for me.

Thanks to @CardboardSushi for the trade for these and other cards to come in this series.

So, how about you guys, do you like to wrap gifts?
